If this is truly a sewage pit then the lid will be sealed to keep sewer gasses from escaping into the house, that means it will also be water tight. If you've confirmed the receptacle has power and the pump doesn't run then you'll need to open the pit. If the pump doesn't run when connected directly to the wall then you either don't have power to the receptacle or there is a problem with the pump itself. You have a piggyback float switch, that means when you unplug the pump from it and plug the pump cord directly into the wall, the float is completely bypassed and removed from the circuit. Long story short, due to some issues my old plumber and I had for a previous project I won't be able to call him to come check out this problem so I'm looking to try and troubleshoot it myself, and then if necessary replace the pump. Is there anything else I can try? Opening it up checking something inside? Snaking something? On the advice of my plumber brother (unfortunately he lives in another state) I have already tried just wiggling the the discharge line, but it still won't kick on. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions for me to try in order to determine if the pump is indeed broken. The pump was installed less than a year ago by a professional plumber, so I find it hard to believe that it is broken. I even tried unplugging the pump from the back of the switch plug, and plugging that directly into the outlet and the pump still doesn't turn on. I checked the breaker and outlet and there is power. So just recently I realized that my Liberty Pumps Pro-380 Sewage Pump ( ) doesn't seem to be kicking on.
